Goodbye Carl Barks

"When I was a child, I used to buy Disney comics at the local discount store. They were shrink-wrapped in packs of three, and I remember reading them with time better spent doing my math homework. I wish I'd kept more of them. Disney comic books have always been uneven, but the comics with Donald Duck were always better than the rest. Many of the stories seemed to prophecy the wildly successful Raiders of the Lost Ark movie series. Exotic lands with strange customs, clever riddles and puns, fortuitous coincidences—these were the elements that Barks' lovable characters played off in their many adventures. Unlike the Disney animated films, which became progressively more inane and insubstantial as the 60s progressed, Barks' comics remained examples of economical storytelling coupled with ingenious and original plot twists. Like countless other children worldwide, Carl Barks' Donald Duck comics were a happy childhood treat, even if I didn't know who Carl Barks was until much later. They are among the very few children's comics that I still enjoy as an adult."
